Take Turkey Creek year before last, I caught fish all up and down the creek, miles of creek bed. But I caught BIG fish in just a few spots, one of those spots produced a 2.96 spawned out female who was weighed and released.
On Sardis I have a couple of places that I go to with bigger fish in mind, at Enid I'm lost, at Arkabutla as well.
I do believe that the best shot you have at a 3 pounder without a lot of lake knowledge is at Grenada when the lake is at 210 or lower, 222 like it was last year made it extremely hard.

Turkey Creek in Decatur?

3 lb. fish on Enid are rare for me . Lived there 14 yrs. caught one(3lb. 3 oz. ) in the mouth of Rowsey creek . Never seen Butla, but I know pretty good fishermen that strike out often . The other two are do able but pack a" big lunch" . Use of dynamite would be very helpful . My best came from Grenada . 3lb. 10 oz. 23 years ago . lol

It would definitely be a challenge but that’s what would make it awarding. I’m not a turkey hunter but I’ve got a couple of friends that have accomplished their Grand Slam in a single season in it’s a prestige thing that very few can say they accomplished.

I caught a 2.2 there last February and I felt like I had hit the lottery

You did!!!!
Something I had to learn was that trophies aren't all about being monsters, don't think I have ever caught a 2 pounder at Tibbee but if I did I would be more proud of it than I am a Grenada 3 pounder, it's all relative to where you are.
The stringer we caught last Friday at the Rez was the best my partner had ever caught there as far as size, a day to remember the rest of our lives and not a 3 pounder in site.

No, he's talking about Turkey Creek on Grenada. I've heard there are some crappie at the Turkey Creek lake in Decatur, not sure about the size of them. I used to hang out there a lot, chasin' girls and drinking beer. Misspent youth, Late 80's at ECJC.
